Method for judging electronic device and multi-window touch command

The present invention relates to a method for judging an electronic device and a touch action, and more particularly to a method for judging a multi-window touch command and an electronic device for performing the method.

Smart phones and tablets are already popular touch-sensitive electronic devices. The touch-sensitive electronic devices mainly include a display panel, a touch panel and a processor. The display panel is disposed on a lower surface of the touch panel, and the processor electrically connects the display panel and the touch panel. When the user clicks or slides on the surface of the touch panel with a finger or a stylus, the processor can detect the touch signal from the touch panel, and control the display panel to display a corresponding screen according to the touch signal. .

For example, if a plurality of windows are displayed on the display panel of the electronic device, when the user wants to adjust the size of any of the windows, the touch panel is usually touched with the fingertips on the edge of the window, and then dragged and slid. The edge of the window can be enlarged or reduced proportionally according to the user's sliding.

However, limited by the size of the electronic device, the visual effect exhibited by the display panel may overlap the plurality of windows, which makes it difficult for the user to accurately click on the edge of the specific window, and the window size cannot be smoothly adjusted, resulting in use. Troubled on.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic device and a multi-window touch command judging method for the user to intuitively and easily operate the window.

The main technical means for achieving the foregoing objective is to enable the multi-window touch action judging method of the electronic device to generate a plurality of windows having a title column on a touch interface of the electronic device, and perform the following steps: Whether a touch point appears in the title column of the window; if a touch point appears in the title column of the window, then it is determined whether the touch point has a specific touch action; and if a specific touch action occurs, executing a window Adjust the instructions.

The electronic device includes: a touch interface; and a controller electrically connecting the touch interface, and generating a plurality of windows having a title column on the touch interface, and according to whether a touch is displayed in the title column of the window Point and a specific touch action to perform a window adjustment command.

According to the electronic device and the determination method of the present invention, when the user wants to change the size of any window or move the window, the user can first intuitively perform the specific touch operation by pressing the area of the title column in the window with a finger. Window adjustment. Since the user operates the title column, it is possible to explicitly operate a specific window, overcoming the disadvantages of the prior art that it is difficult to accurately click on the edge of a particular window.

Figure 21B is a schematic diagram of a touch point and an effective touch area in the present creation.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 , the electronic device 10 includes a touch interface and a controller 13 . The touch panel includes a display panel 11 and a touch panel 12 . When the user faces the display panel 11, the orientation of the electronic device 10 corresponding to the user's head is defined as the +y direction, and the opposite direction of the +y direction is defined as the -y direction, and the electronic device 10 corresponds to the right side of the user. The direction is defined as the +x direction, and the opposite direction of +x is defined as the -x direction.

The display panel 11 is disposed on the lower surface of the touch panel 12 and includes a visible area 110 for displaying information for viewing by the user. The controller 13 electrically connects the display panel 11 and the touch panel 12 . In the preferred embodiment, the controller 13 operates in an Android system.

Referring to FIG. 1, the controller 13 drives the display panel 11 to present a plurality of windows 111 in the viewable area 110. Each window 111 includes a title column 112 and a window content 113 adjacent to the title column 112. The window 111 is operable to operate in a maximized state, a minimized state, and a restored state. Referring to FIG. 3, when the window 111 is operated in the maximized state, the window 111 fills the viewable area 110, and the title column 112 is located at one end of the viewable area 110 in the +y direction. Referring to FIG. 4, when the window 111 is operated in the minimized state, the window 111 has only the title column 112 displayed at one end of the viewable area 110 in the -y direction. The restored state refers to a state other than the maximized state and the minimized state, and as shown in FIG. 5, the window 111 is located at any position of the visible region 110.

As shown in FIG. 1 , the viewing area 110 includes a plurality of windows 111 for clicking or sliding on the touch panel 12 . During the operation, the controller 13 detects the touch point from the title column 112 of the window 111, and determines whether the touch point generates a specific touch action to perform a window adjustment instruction according to the specific touch action. Steps for judging various window adjustment instructions:

In summary, the determination method of the creation window adjustment instruction is mainly based on the touch points on the title column, so that it can be distinguished from the existing gesture touch instructions in the electronic device. Furthermore, the creation can be conveniently used by the user to memorize the operation gesture. For example, touching the title column with two fingers means that the window is zoomed by one level, for example, switching the window from the minimized state to the restored state, and three fingers. When the title column is touched, the window zooming is performed for two levels, for example, the window is directly changed to the maximized state by skipping the restored state from the minimized state.

Referring to FIG. 21A, when the user touches the touch interface, the controller 13 detects a touch area 210 and determines the touch area 210 as the touch point 21 for touch. Detection of motion. As shown in FIG. 21B, in the present invention, the controller 13 can further The touch point 21 is expanded to form an effective touch area 211. The effective touch area 211 has a rectangular shape. It should be noted that the effective touch area 211 may be other shapes except the rectangular shape. The effective touch area 211 is a determination area expanded from the touch point 21, thereby expanding the effective judgment range of the touch point 21. Taking FIG. 21B as an example, when the user wants to touch the edge of the window, even if the touch point 21 does not fall on the edge of the window, the effective touch area 211 covers the edge of the window, so that The controller 13 still determines that the user has touched the edge of the window to avoid uncontrollable troubles.
